Supporting local government to ‘grow your own’ Urban and Regional Planners
Vanessa Leigh, Program Manager – Murray River Regional Study Hub, Rural City of Murray Bridge
The Murray River Study Hub, in partnership with Uni Hub Spencer Gulf (MRSH/USG) have identified an opportunity to address the workforce shortages in qualified urban and regional planners in South Australia through a Council led, ‘grow your own’ initiative.
Currently, there is no undergraduate Urban and Regional Planning course available through a South Australian University, to support the qualification of Urban and Regional Planners. Through targeted promotion of the sector needs, providing study options that align with individual skills and experience and utilising an existing, supported learning environment for students in South Australia, MRSH/USG believe Councils can play a lead role in building their planning workforce across the State.
Hear more about this exciting initiative from Vanessa Leigh, Rural City of Murray Bridge who will share more on the program, including developments based on State Government consultation.
Contribute to and support the progression of this important initiative, which will support the South Australian Local Government sector to fill a major skills shortage gap.
